A solid iron ball of mass 500 g is dropped in mercury contained in a beaker. (a) Will the ball float or sink? Give reasons. (b) What will be the apparent weight of the ball?
उत्तर
(a) The ball will float because the density of ball (i.e. iron) is less than the density of mercury.
(b) While floating, the apparent weight = 0.

A weather forecasting plastic balloon of volume 15 m3 contains hydrogen of density 0.09 kg m-3. The volume of equipment carried by the balloon is negligible compared to its own volume. The mass of an empty balloon alone is 7.15 kg. The balloon is floating in air of density of 1.3 kg m-3. Calculate:
(i) The mass of hydrogen in the balloon,
(ii) The mass of hydrogen and balloon,
(iii) The total mass of hydrogen, balloon and equipment if the mass of equipment is x kg,
(iv) The mass of air displaced by balloon and
(v) The mass of equipment using the law of floatation.
